Across
  1. 4. component of the cytoskeleton used to move genetic material during cell division
  2. 5. type of microscope that uses visible light to magnify an object
  3. 6. organelle that synthesizes polysaccharides and finalizes proteins
  4. 10. a type of vacuole formed from phagocytosis
  5. 12. the understanding that all living organisms are composed of 1+ cells, which are the basic units of organismal structure created by a parent cell.
  6. 13. largest protein fiber of the cytoskeleton
  7. 17. a process in which the plasma membrane surrounds an object to bring it into the cell via a vesicle
  8. 19. a component of the cytoskeleton used for moving the entire cell; typically only 1 or 2 per cell
  9. 20. a sticky layer surrounding the cell wall of a prokaryotic cell
  10. 21. organelle responsible for cellular respiration in plants & animals
  11. 22. type of protein that associates with only 1 side of a phospholipid bilayer
  12. 23. a process in which the plasma membrane surrounds an object to bring it out of the cell via a vesicle
  13. 24. type of protein that extends through both sides of a phospholipid bilayer
  14. 25. type of protein that allows active movement across a phospholipid bilayer
  15. 26. free-floating genetic material
  16. 28. organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells
  17. 30. where ribosomes are synthesized
  18. 31. an organelle that monomerizes macromolecules
  19. 32. type of protein that allows passive movement across a phospholipid bilayer
  20. 36. an organelle that neutralizes toxins to protect the cell
  21. 37. protein fiber of the cytoskeleton that is medium in size
  22. 38. organelle that packages membrane proteins
  23. 39. a type of cell that is large and complex
  24. 40. a type of vacuole that removes excess water from the cell
Down
  1. 1. cell structure that increases a cell's surface area
  2. 2. organelle that synthesizes proteins
  3. 3. a type of cell that is small and simple
  4. 7. a process in which the plasma membrane surrounds food to bring it into the cell via a vesicle
  5. 8. proteins with the specific function of allowing water to flow in or out of the cell
  6. 9. organelle that synthesizes lipids
  7. 11. a component of the cytoskeleton used for moving the entire cell; typically a lot covering the outside of the cell
  8. 14. an appendage of a prokaryotic cell used for sticking to surfaces
  9. 15. a rigid structure surrounding the plasma membrane of prokaryote and plant cells
  10. 16. smallest protein fiber of the cytoskeleton
  11. 18. what separates the inside of a cell from the outside; the cell's "skin"
  12. 27. semifluid material that fill in the empty space of a cell
  13. 29. a channel through which plant cells communicate and share nutrients
  14. 33. an organelle that surrounds and protects genetic material
  15. 34. type of microscope that bounces electrons off an object to develop a magnified image of it
  16. 35. a type of vacuole that plants use for storage
